Fox, kindly use that language elsewhere. It’s concerning you find that you need use expletive’s in order to express your opinion. Your passion is clearly needless at the soulless bowl of walkers “stadium”

fox 4 life – How’s Div1? You’ll never win a Euro cup comp., your ground is named after crisps & isn’t fit 4 anything except your team. The CG has been choosen for Cup finals & Euro games as well, yours? PS – u can’t spell either!!

When I first heard about the stadium plan, I immediately suggested that my consultancy colleague write to them to offer our services. I mus admit I had my work hat on that day. However, in truth, I agree with the statements made here. That picture of the City Ground next to the waters of the Trent is just beautiful. It would be a real shame to lose its character. It just needs some updates and extensions over a long period of time and one day it will rival all the others not just in terms of seats, but also character and history. Ok, work hat back on again (town planner by the way), I’d also be very concerned about the impact of a new stadium on the M1 and surrounding local roads.

no offence to England but I really hope they don’t win the bid for the WC. The CG will always be the home of The Reds – I can’t imagine not being able to walk my way from the train station across the Trent bridge, seeing the CG from afar with the words “The Brian Clough Stand”. Sometimes, settings like that outweigh all the modernisation in the world.

I wish we’d just get on with updating the Main Stand and be proud of having a ground with some character, and a perfect location. It would take some sustained success, plus decent away followings, to sell out a 40,000 seat ground, never mind a 50,000 seat bowl. We have such a great spot for our ground in comparison to teams like Reading and Bolton, why throw that away just to chase the FIFA money?

NO to the WC in England as it means we lose our “home”. I don’t want to move from the CG for 3 reasons – a) Our home is just perfect where it is & moving definatly would effect even more att. towards the negative (what if the stadium is a flop in the end?) b) it’s right next to the bus station & train station so why make it harder to get there & also create more policing difficulties & c) My Brothers Godmother’s chippy is also in close vacinity & I’m sure many of you lovley Reds go & eat in there b4 &/or after the match – Carringtons is the name!!!

I doubt anyone in Nottingham is beyond Doughty’s pocket so if he wants planning permission we’ll get it.

Rebuild the main stand and tack on some up to date facilities and be done with it.

Let’s face it even if we win another European Cup we won’t need 50,000 seats.

I don’t want the WC anyway. Our transport network grinds to a halt every summer with just us locals on it. Hopefully London imploding during the Olympics should put everyone off the idea.

I’m with you NFFC, I want to stay at the City Ground.

I always assumed we were unable to build on it, which was one of the reasons we were moving. So if we can build on the Main stand I think we should, and save the money.
